What Is A Chiropractic Adjustment?

August 10, 2017 By Renee White

what is a chiropractic adjustmentMany patients who are new to chiropractic treatments often wonder what is a chiropractic adjustment. In short, chiropractors perform a chiropractic adjustment treatment to help with spinal realignment. When the spine is repositioned to its proper location, the flow of the nervous system is no longer interrupted.

What Are The Goals Of Chiropractic Adjustments?

The primary goal of a chiropractic adjustment is to restore a patient’s health. When any one of the vertebra in the spine is dislocated, the spine is unable to move around easily. As a result, tension forms in the nerves and is released between each of the vertebra in the back. This tension can cause:

  • Inflammation in the spine and back
  • Interference with nerve signals
  • Irritation

When any of these conditions occur, a patient may feel pain and experience disease in the spine and back.

What Is A Chiropractic Adjustment? – It Corrects Bone Dislocation

Chiropractic adjustments are performed by using a certain force above a specific part of the vertebrae to gently unlock a bone that is misaligned and allow it to realign itself correctly. This way the nervous system no longer produces tension and the vertebrae begins to function properly.

Chiropractic Adjustments – Different Types of Techniques

First of all, chiropractors perform several types of techniques. However, Dr. Renee White of Champion Chiropractic uses the following techniques:

  • Activator Protocol
  • Thompson
  • Diversified
  • Gonstead

Especially relevant, all of these adjustments are hands-on.  Furthermore, the adjustment sometimes causes a popping sound. The expansion of gas within the joints of the spine causes this sound. Sometimes an adjustment emits no sound.

In conclusion, patients no longer have to wonder about what is a chiropractic adjustment. This is a safe and gentle chiropractic technique that can offer patients many benefits and restore a patient’s health. As a result, patients of all ages can benefit from this type of chiropractic care.
